    .ORG -- what are the rules?

    Do you HAVE to run a non-profit organization?

    Can you somehow run a for-profit business off a .ORG site without running into problems with the domain?

      No rules with .org domains.
      They can be used the same as .com and .net.

              Rule #1:
              You need X bucks to register it.

              Rule #2:
              You must not chargeback.

                      The special rules for .ORG were always implied, not official.

                          Nope. They used to be reserved for non-profit organizations, just like the .net domains were reserved for networks, but in recent years people have been using those domains for whatever.

                              Good to know.
                              SIG TOO BIG! Maximum 120x60 button and no more than 3 text lines of DEFAULT SIZE and COLOR. Unless your sig is for a GFY top banner sponsor, then you may use a 624x80 instead of a 120x60.
